Strings of Hope was founded by Simcha Tzuf to make folk harp playing feel intuitive rather than intimidating, blending technical lessons with a therapeutic, soulful approach to the instrument. The company grew out of a mission to share hope and encouragement with harpists at every level, from complete beginners to experienced players.

Beyond its online community, Strings of Hope produces a podcast featuring conversations with harpists and instrument builders, and hosts in-person retreats, including one held in Galilee, Israel. The company's approach centers on helping members play from the heart, not just from the page.
